Kunlunquan Explained

Kunlunquan (昆仑拳, Kunlun Fist) is a style of Chinese martial arts popular in the province of Guangdong. As it is practiced by the minority Hakka it is considered a Kejiaquan. It was officially included among the styles nanquan, but originated in northern China. It was handed down in 1880 by Huang Huilong (黄辉龙) or feilong Huang (黄飞龙), a native of Jinan in the province of Shandong. Shuangqing Huang, a practitioner of this style today, is considered sixty seventh generation, witness to what is considered ancient style.

Writing in Landtai World: Early Years, Xinyang Normal University scholar Zhang Xiang said about Kunlunquan, "Its boxing characteristics are free and easy when defending, and deadly and fierce when attacking."^[1] According to the Guangdong Province Chronicle: Sports Chronicle, "The characteristics of Kunlunquan: Fierce, tricky, heaving, floating and sinking, every move is to attack the vital parts. The stakes are higher, exhale, and inhale."^[2]
